Axis Bank to infuse ₹1,500 crore in wholly-owned subsidiary Axis Finance
Axis Bank will infuse ₹1,500 crore into its subsidiary Axis Finance through a Rights Issue by March 31, 2027. The RBI approved the investment on March 10, 2026. Axis Finance reported a turnover of ₹2,504 crore for H1FY26.
The infusion of ₹1,500 crore is a significant amount for the subsidiary, aimed at growth, which could positively impact its performance and, by extension, Axis Bank's consolidated financials. However, it is an internal capital allocation rather than an external market-moving event.
The infusion of capital into a wholly-owned subsidiary is a positive step for the subsidiary's growth and indicates the parent bank's commitment to its expansion.
Axis Bank Limited has announced that its Acquisitions, Divestments and Merger Committee has approved a proposal to infuse ₹1,500 crore into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Axis Finance Limited (AFL).
The infusion will be done through subscribing to AFL's Rights Issue, in one or more tranches, before March 31, 2027. This investment has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) via a letter dated March 10, 2026.
Axis Finance Limited, a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), reported a turnover of ₹2,504 crore for the half-year ended FY26. For the past three financial years, its turnover was ₹4,296 crore in FY25, ₹3,321 crore in FY24, and ₹2,297 crore in FY23. The acquisition falls under related party transactions, but it will be conducted on an arm's length basis, with no promoter or promoter group interest in AFL. The stated objective for this capital infusion is growth. The meeting of the Committee commenced at 9:00 AM and concluded at 9:46 AM on March 18, 2026.
